Subject: Website Update - 2004/05 Snowcrystals
I just uploaded the February update to my website, with the second installment of snow crystal photos for this year. Since,in the last 5 years, I've only had one good post-January snow session, I expect that this will be it for this year.
I experimented with lighting a bit, and made some improvements that I think get me closer to, but not quite on par, with the best snow crystal photographer out there. Maybe next year I'll move up to using a microscope. For now, the *ist-D, a reverse mounted 50mm, a coffee can, and bit of colored plastic (this year I ran over to the local drug store an bough a clear plastic report cover) will do it.
My wonderful Pentax M f4 developed a _really_ stuck aperture, so the latest batch was shot with Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro. Nice sharp lens but it defied the conventional wisdom that adjusting the focus on a lens reverse mounted on a bellows set has no effect - the floating element meant that I had to lock it into place focus-wise. I hope to have the M 50 f4 fixed by next winter.
